manual focus

I've always wanted one of these pancake lenses, they are super small and when I got this lens in mint condition that came with my Nikon N2000, I had to get an adapter to mount it on my Nikon Z6II and go shoot with it a little. I am very impressed with this lens for what it is, it resolves...

Hi everyone, I'm in Australia and first heard about Lensbaby lenses last year. I got a Velvet 56 from my husband as a combined birthday/Christmas present, although it took 4 months to finally arrive. So now I'm learning to use it. Not being a natural manual lens user there is a learning curve...

The lens itself is very good. I use it with the Nikon D3100 to do a lot of timelapse of flowers opening. That's from bud to fully open flower. A single session can take several hours so everything gets bolted down solid in a quiet room with no disturbance. Not much latitude for focal-depth so...

So, not sure how widespread this is. I picked up a cheap 10-22mm EFS, other day when I set the switch to manual focus, it still seems to be autofocusing. Since it's full time manual focus override this isn't a massive problem, but certainly is an annoying quirk. Anyone else see this in this...

From time to time I like to browse through my local thrift shops and pawn brokers to see if something interesting might pop up that I can adapt and use with my Sony mirrorless. Recently came across a Tokina SZ-X 24-70mm 1:3.5-4.8 in what appears to be a reasonable condition, but I cannot find...

I have a D3200 camera with 18-105 mm lens. Yesterday I tried shooting a couple in a wide angle frame (18 mm focal length). This is my general practice when I take a shot wider than 80mm: 1. Switch to manual focus 2. Zoom to 105 mm 3. Focus on the eyes of the subject 4. Zoom back to desires FL...

I thought about buying an adapter for this and using it on my fuji cameras, but given my proclivity for manual focusing, i figured it was never really likely to happen. any Pentax shooters around that aren't put off by manual focus? its pretty clean, 8 bladed aperture that works fine, mount...
